Another carribean / african thing ,they got married by jumping over a brush .

But Mr & Mrs J hadn't jumped over a brush at this stage Blue

There used to be a song “Let’s jump the broomstick“.

My mother in law used to sing it

Only joking. She was lovely

It's my fish and chips. Without the chips.

I’m shattered. Grandkids 3 & 4 have just gone home. Grandad thought it might be a good idea to take them to town for the day, he’s full of bright ideas! They do love a ride on the top deck of a bus, something mundane in my childhood is a rare treat for them. We couldn’t visit Father Christmas in the shopping centre as this had to be booked in advance and was full for today. I was somewhat relieved as it was £7.50 per child plus a choice of package of photos and souvenirs priced up to £20. We went to their favourite pizza restaurant as a consolation followed by a ride on the Dobby horses. They asked to visit the cathedral to see the crib, there we had a further treat as the choir were practising. Their faces as they sat watching were a joy to behold, it was the first time they had experienced carols sung in a church, another of my childhood experiences that is foreign to them. Then home where they helped themselves to chocolates and candy canes from the tree. Their Mum was horrified “We were never allowed to to touch those until Christmas!” lol

I have to say H. You never said your daughter was so tasty.

I'll be tuning in mate.

No prepping required for me. I've got the neighbours kids for Christmas Dinner. They're getting a Spanish style roast which involves about 3o minutes prep and an hours cooking. Won't even have time to get pissed

Don’t be so negative mate. I reckon you’re up to the challenge!!

A post for @Brett Angell Delight Rainbow trout eggs with sour cream and red onion :- Maybe that should have been for @Barnfred 55 too as it is on toast .View attachment 239277

Looks right up my street that! Hope it tasted as good as it looked.

Hello everybody. It's taken me ages to catch up on the fence panels, Christmas cooking, falling off ladders, music and tonight's tipples. I have never stopped today. Seriously. I logged on this morning to a ton of work. Soemtimes we have to go out for additional information from social services or the police. They must have all been clearing their desks before Christmas and all the requests I had made over the last three weeks had come back. I decided I was going to clear my desk too so, after a 10 hour day I have nothing outstanding! The bonus is that my day off on Thursday can be a flexi day instead of holiday. I'm in credit -therefore I can have a day off. I don;t like being in credit on my time unless I have a specific objective in mind.. I would hate to die unexpectedly and be in credit on my flexi . My preferred time zone is between 3 and 5 hours in debit.

I haven't even had a drink yet - is it too late to start now?
